I don’t think anyone takes pleasure from it. I certainly don’t. Just commenting on the game.

I don’t see why we can’t be disappointed by Simms missing 3/4 good chances. He was clearly disappointed himself.

The clean sheets are a good sign. Brau looks more of a defensive left back which is good

Not at all. I’d love to see him score hatfuls of goals. It’s a match thread. He was awful against very very mediocre opposition. Nothing against him. Just a view on the game.

Sorry, but championship strikers should at least hit the target with at least 3 out of the 5 chances he had.

Thought Kitching was clear mom. Good performances from Torp, Raphael, KKH and Allen. Won’t mention the negatives.

Just appraising what I saw on the pitch. Some good. Some awful.

Kessler-Hayden, Brau, Raphael, Torp did well. Kitching was the difference for me. Simms. Sorry, just dreadful. Doesn’t do anything like a natural footballer. Genuinely felt for him.

Kitching has fired us up. Also dispels the ridiculous myth that a left footed CH can’t play right

He’s nowhere near Sakamoto. But I can see him causing problems off the bench against tiring legs

KKH, Raphael and Torp good. Rest just average. 442 interesting.

We’ve got real pace down the right

Decent mix. Interested to see Brau start in a competitive game.

Will he start wide left.

Palmer mainly unlocked ours.

It’s a shame Kitchen has been a magnet for some criticism so far. It’s difficult to know wren that will stop and how den wickes is frustrating.

OK, that’s correct. The main point though is that whoever bought them it’s going to have an impact on Lampards tenure for a while as what he inherited needs work. And to be fair he did inherit some very good players as well.

Agree with most of the sentiment on here. The biggest plus about this window is we’ve retained players who were good enough to get us to fifth last year. We’re tinkering now rather than overhauling. And while that makes for less entertaining transfer windows it’s absolutely the right place to be.

I think it will have a fair impact. The latter signings of that era were bizarre. Lampard (or whoever) has somehow found a buyer for Binks but it’s not proving as easy to move on Latibeaudiere, Dasilva, Bassette, Simms, BTA, Collins or Raphael. Strange signings all.

It’s obvious the idea was to sell MVE or at least have an expectation there would be significant interest in him. KKH is a good pick up whether MVE goes or not so it’s a logical signing. I’d be amazed it we start September with MVE but our solid work with contracts means we might.
